programming a FIPS code
To specify a county, SAME uses a standard
established by the US Census bureau,
called FIPS.
The format of a FIPS code is:
PSSCCC, where...
P = area subdivision (0=entire area)
SS = State code (00=all states)
CCC = County code (000=all counties)
For example, the FIPS code for Tarrant
County, Texas is:
048439 (48=Texas; 439=Tarrant County).
Some counties are further subdivided,
in which cases, the fi rst digit will be 0 for
all subdivisions in the county and each
subdivision will be labeled 1-9.
To program your scanner to alert you when
the weather service issues an alert, you
must set the scanner to the alert mode,
and then leave the scanner monitoring the
weather service. You cannot scan weahter
channels and monitor for weather alerts at
the same time.
